Plain-language summary
A focused review on inflammaging — the chronic, low-grade inflammation that accumulates with age and underwrites most non-communicable disease. The authors argue carnosine sits at the right intersection of anti-glycation, anti-oxidant, and immune-modulating chemistry to be a credible nutritional lever on this process, and survey the supporting human evidence.
Key takeaways
- ›Targets inflammaging — the shared upstream of most age-related disease.
- ›Connects nutritional intake to a measurable inflammatory phenotype.
- ›Bridges the immunology, geroscience, and nutrition literatures.
